Senator O'Toole, in his quite remarkable contribution – I thought he needed to be tied down at times – was absolutely correct in his assessment. Fears that Ireland would lose out on enlargement are totally misplaced. Increased working standards to be enjoyed by workers in the current member states will be extended to the applicant countries. There will be an equalisation process. Anybody who has any reason to fear that jobs or investment may flow east should very definitely vote "Yes".
